April 1st, 2014

Code Combat has been very successful at cultivating a community around their open source game. The game has had 380,000 players around the world, translations into 38 different languages and over 2,000 commits to the code base from more than 120 contributors. The game is expanding with a multi-player mode that pits two players against each other in head to head combat to see who’s AI coding skills are the best. Code Combat was selected for the Google Summer of Code and will be using this opportunity to further improve the game.
